Do I need to source the upper grille separately?

The front bumper integrates with the factory upper grille from earlier model years. If you have the newer generation, purchase the earlier grille to complete the fit. This swap is straightforward and a common pairing for this kit.

Can I paint each piece separately before installation?

Yes. Each component can be masked, sanded, and painted individually before assembly. This approach often yields cleaner results than painting after install, since you'll have better access to edges and seams. Sand with appropriate grit and apply primer, then your topcoat, to each piece before mounting.

What prep work does FRP require before painting?

Sand the surface to remove any minor imperfections and establish adhesion for your paint. Clean thoroughly with wax and grease remover, then apply your chosen primer and finish. FRP accepts both single-stage and basecoat systems, so your shop or DIY process will work as normal.
